Multiple Accounts Transparency

I know that having multiple FAA accounts is allowed and there have been various discussions about benefits but I just noticed something which I haven’t seen mentioned - the carousel of “More from xxxx” images searches across ids. So, looking at something from the recent sales page, https://fineartamerica.com/featured/tale-of-two-wolves-art-of-stories-celestial-images.html, is Tale of two wolves by Celestial Images. Underneath it has “More from Celestial Images” and one of those is a colorised and flipped-left to-right 1941 photo of Winston Churchill. Going to that page https://fineartamerica.com/featured/winston-churchill-adam-asar.html, I found that it was by “Adam Asar”. (Not the photo, you understand. The photo is by Yousuf Karsh, who died in 2002, https://karsh.org/photographs/winston-churchill/ ).
So the carousel reveals multiple accounts to the customer. Just thought people should be aware.

Hi James, it is the same account. This happens if you change the field 'Artist Name' when uploading an image.

Gallery accounts will put the name of the artists in the artist field.

I have nearly 6000 uploads and hundreds and hundreds of different artist's names.

I wish we could link accounts. I have five or six accounts and cross-promoting them would be a great feature.

However, if I had it all to do over again I would have just one account and separate what is in the other accounts into galleries instead.

Promoting one account is difficult enough. I found very quickly that I could not adequately promote multiple accounts so I only promote my main account.

Thanks for explaining guys. It does look very strange when you click on “More from XXX” and arrive at YYY.

Why don't you start uploading all your art to one account Floyd? It's not like you have to remove the art from other ones and eventually you'd only need to promote one. You know... in ten years :P

I have done some of that but I started a local galley program about 3 years ago. I find that a lot more fun, running up and down the coast getting out from behind a computer. I am kind of letting my online stuff slide in priority. Not to mention I am not getting any younger. :-)

I have 4 accounts - two free - two premium. IF we could have sub-galleries - I would have just one account. I seldom do anything with the two free ones, hardly even look at them any more. I may edge the one free one, my watercolors, into the photography one. I do have some of the same images on both the two premium accounts. As for marketing - (what's that?)
